Of course they want to offend us because it makes them feel better about the way they are living their lives.<BR/><BR/>My guess, though, is that some of the worst offenders are also the most conflicted; and by God's grace they will finally realize whre they are being led. Conversions can be powerful and dramatic, or slow and unnoticed. But they happen. We pray for them. <BR/><BR/>fidei - St. Thomas More! Well, he did use logic, but I always figured I was more Aquinas-like.

The fact that it is offensive to "those kind of people" is what got the play produced in the first place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442675889223622731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-28065249542507298192007-03-04T21:01:00.000-06:002007-03-04T21:01:00.000-06:00Actually, Catholics MIGHT file a lawsuit; the Tho...Actually, Catholics MIGHT file a lawsuit; the Thomas More Institute (I think I got the name wrong) and the Catholic Defense League have actually been filing lawsuits in some cases. <BR/><BR/>But you're right; we will not issue a Jihad or a fatwa, or any such thing. Our response is a peaceful, reasoned one, and the cool thing is that this is the type of response that wins converts. It's nothing we can see or measure on the surface, but it happens. <BR/><BR/>Anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice; and it only goes to prove that, as such, it must be the one true faith. <BR/><BR/>But that does not mean we should cowtoe to the bullies and not speak up in defense of our beliefs.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-56033156582154874792007-03-04T20:48:00.000-06:002007-03-04T20:48:00.000-06:00Actually, they do think it is offensive, or they w...Actually, they do think it is offensive, or they wouldn't do it, and they wouldn't do it if they didn't think they would get away with it.
